Our take on the Definitive Technology Mythos Gem
by Crutchfield's Kristen Schaub

Enjoy detailed sound from Definitive Technology's most compact multi-purpose speakers — the Mythos Gems. Each speaker houses two 3-1/2" mid/bass drivers that are angled away from each other to create a spacious, lifelike soundstage. They flank a 1" pure aluminum dome tweeter that reveals lots of detail and nuance without adding a trace of edginess.

Slim profile makes it easy to place in your room

The enclosure is made of black hand-polished aluminum for a sleek look that'll go well with most modern décors. A keyhole slot on the back of each speaker allows you to mount them on your walls for out-of-the-way placement, or you can place them on Definitive's matching GemStands. The Gems are voice-matched with the complete Mythos series, so they're perfect for use as compact surround speakers in a system made up of larger Mythos main speakers. Or create a complete Gem home theater system using the Mythos Seven center channel speaker and either the SuperCube 2000 or ProSub 800 subwoofer.

Did you know?
Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality. For more information and helpful tips, check out this article from Definitive's website about conditioning your speakers.

Driver Technology

Angled Drivers: Each Mythos Gem contains two 3-1/2 inch
long-throw mid/bass drivers that are angled in opposite directions to broaden
the midrange dispersion. The bass roll-off of the Mythos Gem is smooth and
controlled, allowing it to seamlessly blend with a powered subwoofer, such as
Definitive's SuperCubes, for audiophile-grade home theater performance.

Break-In Period: The Mythos Gem will sound good right out of
the box; however, an extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of playing
is required to reach full performance capability. The break-in period allows the
suspensions to work in and results in full bass, a more open midrange, and
smoother high frequency reproduction.

Enclosure Design

Extruded Aluminum Enclosure: The Mythos Gem enclosure is
hand-polished gloss back aircraft-grade extruded aluminum with proprietary
damping technologies that ensure total rigidity. All components are mounted on a
resonance-free PolyStone baffle. These construction technologies along with
state-of-the-art drivers and tweeter serve to deliver high quality sound with a
wide soundstage, pinpoint imaging, high dynamic impact, and superb realism.

Connections

Mounting Options

Mounting: The Mythos Gem comes with a wall-mount bracket, so
you can easily mount the speaker on the wall (mounting screws not included). The
Mythos Gem also features a 1/4"-20 threaded insert for using Definitive
Technology's optional articulating wall-bracket (ProMount 80) to mount the
speaker on the wall. In addition, the Mythos Gem can be placed on a table-top,
shelf, or stand.

Q & A

Customer Q&A

Crutchfield askedWhy did you buy this?

I currently have Bose cubes as the rear channel speakers. I chose these speakers specifically for the 60hz frequency response which should provide for some nice mid-range.
[ Adam Sep 18, 2017 ]

Amazing sound, incredibly well made and designed and perfect for a nice surround sound set-up when paired with the other Mythos speakers. Music and movies/tv sound incredible, clean, and never distorted.
[ John Apr 05, 2017 ]

Great surrounds
[ John Dec 09, 2016 ]

I am replacing an older pair of Polk RM's for front height speakers to match better with my Mythos Two's I use for the fronts and my Mythos three center channel.

With the proper ceiling mount brackets (sold separately), that may be possible. For more details on that, feel free to contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat.
